The Columbia Book of Yarns 

19TH EDITION 



A COMPREHENSIVE HANDBOOK 
OF KNITTING AND CROCHETING 



Valuable Alike to Beginner and Experienced Knitter 

KNITTING has become a very real necessity. 
Sweaters, scarfs, socks, blankets, helmets and 
many other knitted articles are demanded in 
enormous quantities with ever increasing insist- 
ence. So knitting is no longer merely a desirable ac- 
complishment to while away an idle hour. It is one of the 
things that must be done and done constantly, quickly, 
skillfully. 

Under such circumstances The Columbia Book of Yarns, 
always useful, becomes an urgent need. For years it has 
been conceded to be the most exhaustive and practical 
treatise on knitting and crocheting in existence. Every 
phase of the subjects is covered thoroughly and authori- 
tatively. It is the ideal teacher — ready, patient, competent. 
The beginner can quickly learn from its clear, concise les- 
sons and illustrations just how to knit any desired article. 
To the experienced knitter it offers something new, some- 
thing more advanced, some improvement in method or 
material. 

There is one instruction which is frankly urged through- 
out, viz., " ALWAYS USE COLUMBIA YARNS ". 

This is no time for experiments. Even the best knitter 
cannot overcome the handicap of poor yarns. There is no 
doubt about Columbia Yarns. Every year adds to the 
appreciation of their absolute and unvarying dependability. 
" Life ", fullness, elasticity, depth, permanence and variety 
of color — these are the points thaf count in knitting, and 
wear, and washing; superiority in these and all other 
points of excellence is the distinguishing characteristic of 
Columbia Yarns. 



On the Choice of Yam 

THE beauty of the articles in this book comes of two things — hand 
work, and a fine yarn. A hand worker, with proper materials, 
will give her work a delicacy, a fineness of finish, a character that 
no machine-made work ever possesses. But she must look to her 
yarns to do it. She must find a lofty, elastic, even thread, soft and thin to 
the touch made of a wool sensitive to the slightest gradation of shade and 
color. The COLUMBIA YARNS were used in making all the articles in 
this book, and they meet the requirements. With them work in yams 
becomes an art, and good results are easier and surer. 

Stamped by public opinion as the best among yarns recognized as 
good, COLUMBIA YARNS cost in the beginning a trifle more than some 
others — otherwise they could not be what they are. In the end they are 
the cheapest of all. For the cheapness of a yarn is determined not alone 
by what you pay for a hank of it, but also by what the hank will do in 
quality, and quantity of work. The coarse, unelastic thread of a common 
yarn will not reach as far as a yarn of a finer texture, and besides, the 
COLUMBIA YARNS contain, pound for pound, more yards than com- 
mon grades. In the finished piece of knitting or crocheting COLUMBIA 
YARNS mean not only quality but economy. 

The brilliancy and shading in COLUMBIA YARNS is unsurpassed. 
There are no flat, crude, dead colors among them, partly because of the 
way they are dyed, and partly because of the quality of their thread. A 
fine wool receives a color and retains the brilliancy of it, where an inferior 
wool dyes into a lifeless, displeasing shade. 

BLACKS in COLUMBIA YARNS are guaranteed fast. 

In preparing for your work, therefore, you should get COLUMBIA 
YARNS. They are standard, even in quality, and when you get to using 
them you find they demand less of your patience because they do not 
vary from package to package. They are sold by the best retail stores 
throughout the country, with but few exceptions. Should your dealer 
not handle them, write to us and we will refer you to the nearest store 
that handles the complete assortment.

Explanation of Terms Used in Knitting 
and Crocheting 



IN the following pages are found 
the first stitches in knitting and 
crocheting, the more complex 
stitches are made by various 
repetitions and combinations of the 
simple ones already given. There- 
fore you will find references con- 
tinually to the first steps, and the 



references are abbreviated. Thus, 
" work Sg. C. or D. C." mean " work 
a single crochet or a double cro- 
chet " ; the method of working these 
is explained on pages 11 and 12. 
The following is a list of the ab- 
breviations used, with the explana- 
tion of them : 



Ch. — Chain stitch. Explained on page 11. 

SI. St. — Slip stitch. Explained on page 11 (crocheting) 

or page 9 (knitting). 
Sg. C. — Single crochet. Explained on page 11. 
D. C. — Double crochet. Explained on page 12. 
L. C. — Long crochet. Explained on page 12. 
T. C. or Tr. C. — Treble crochet. Explained on page 12. 
P.— Picot. 
C. — Crochet. 
Th. O. — Throw over. 

Stars, thus * '•', mean that the work described be- 
tween them is to be repeated. They save unnecessary 
description where a row is the same as a preceding one. 

Wrap — Means to throw yarn over needle. 



The instructions for every article 
shown or referred to in this book 
were written from the original gar- 
ment worked out with the size 
Needle or Hook mentioned therein. 

We caution all Knitters and Cro- 



cheters who are inclined to knit or 
crochet tight to use a larger size 
needle or hook ; and if loose a smaller 
size needle or hook; otherwise your 
garment will not work out in size 
according to instructions.

TO CAST ON STIT(^IIi:s 




Make a loop in the yarn, and put it on tlie left-liaud needle. Slip the risrht-hand needle 
into the loop, throw yarn around the point of right-hand needle, draw it through and slip that 
lt»op on the left-hand needle. Put the riglit-hand needle into the loop just made, and repeat 
until you have the required number of stitches. 

TO KNIT PLAIN 




Having the number of stitches required on the left-hand needle, slip the right-hand needle 
into the last stitch made. Throw yarn over right-hand needle and draw through stitch. Re- 
peat until all the stitches are on the right-hand needle. 

TO PURL OR SEAM 




Bring the varn in front of the right-hand needle, take up the stitch on the left-hand needle 
by slipping right-hand needle into the front of stitch. Throw yarn around the back of needle 
as it passes in the stitch, catch it in. and take it off. Be careful always to carry the yarn back 
of the needle after a purled stitch before knitting a plain stitch.
